The TwinFlowers, Linnaea borealis, are blooming again, carpeting the forest floor. They like the open shade, under the tall trees where there is no undergrowth. Here they are growing on a mossy floor. I looked back at last year, remembering when I found them, and it was on June 10, so they are a bit late this year.
Mixed in among them are some Gaultheria, an unusual flower. It's one of the wintergreens. These buds are just about ready to pop open.
